Friday 24th August

Want to enjoy some live music, street food, fancy dress and most importantly beer? Head down to the Ilfracombe Beer Festival running from Thursday through to Sunday! It’s a real crowd pleaser.

Saturday 25th August

Make your way to the Big Sheep on Saturday for a day of MINI Madness with the Grand Tour Mini Run! Adorned with decoration and embracing the Grand Tour, the MINIs will be a sight to behold. John’s Deli is hosting an event for the adults to enjoy as Siblings Gin join them for a FREE taster day. A brief guide through the history of the brand and of course, some free samples for you to try.

Sunday 26th August

Sunday 26th sees Marshall from Paw Patrol making an appearance at The Big Sheep, the perfect event for the little ones. Meet and greet the character and even have a photo taken with him. An explosion of colour, Ilfracombe Carnival takes place from 6pm on Sunday evening for an eclectic mix of floats and parades that’ll keep you entertained all night long!

Bank Holiday Monday

The MINIs take to the streets again as the annual Grand Tour continues to its finishing point in Ilfracombe. Watch as the MINIs pass through the town and gather as the procession finishes. Alternatively, head down to Merry Harriers Garden Centre for their Vintage and Classic Car Show. Enjoy classic cars and bikes, raffles and refreshments all in aid of the North Devon Hospice.
